Maria Lynch (born in 1981, Rio de Janeiro) is a brazilian artist.

Education
In 2008, she earned an MA and a Post-Graduate Diploma from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London.

Work
Maria Lynch works with a variety of media, including painting, sculpture / installations, performance and videos, in works which address excess in dealing with the female figure and the world of play. She creates a language that unfurls from fragments of memory and the abstraction of reality.
